How much attention do you pay to the health and care of your vulva and vagina?

Sex toy shop owner and former nurse Sam Evans joins Liz to share how we can increase our sexual pleasure while avoiding pain and irritation.

Sam and Liz discuss what to look for - and avoid - when choosing an intimate lubricant, and how to work the 'slide and glide' lube method. Plus Sam shares the personal story that led her to founding her company, Jo Divine.

The episode also covers the vaginal microbiome and how to stay clean 'down there', the benefits of vaginal oestrogen, how to have safe sex in midlife, and why it matters what material our sex toys are made from.
